It's been years since I used Powershell, but IIRC there are shortcuts for the common commands, e.g. cat, ls, mv, rm, and such DTRT.
Those aliases are, I believe, only defined on Windows PowerShell (the closed-source version 5; not PowerShell 7). I wish those default aliases you mentioned weren’t a thing. Especially `curl` (people should use `iwr` instead), which is an alias of `Invoke-WebRequest`, because it makes the `curl.exe` shipped with Windows nearly undiscoverable.
